The 39-65 tally, however, was a better showing for earmark opponents, who lost a 29-68 vote earlier this year. Any votes next year should be closer because a band of anti-earmark Republicans is joining the Senate.

It's amazing how there were 104 votes in a body that only numbers 100.

Soundly defeated. I'm a little surprised actually. I thought it would be closer.
